LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nick Canon, who is father to 12 children with six different women, said he had envisioned that he would have many children. The popular television host recalled communing with a spirit while talking to podcaster Laura Berman for an episode of 'The Language of Love with Dr Laura Berman', which aired on Wednesday, June 14.
Berman, who is a sex and relationship therapist and podcast host, asked if God told Nick to have "all those babies" while they discussed the 42-year-old's visions.
'You have these manifestations'
"It's almost like when you have these manifestations or even these visions, if that's what we want to call them, it's like, 'Oh, that all makes sense now,'" Cannon told Berman, according to Insider. "You get them in pieces, or they're fragmented," he said of intuitions he had about fatherhood while adding that they never came through like a "Father Abraham conversation."
As per the Bible, God pledged to make Father Abraham the "father of a multitude of nations." "I've never heard that clarity, but I heard that like, 'Yo, you're gonna be a father of many. There's gonna be your great influence, your lineage, your offspring are gonna do great things,'" Cannon said. "I had the vision that my name will be great as, like, the Rockefeller name."
Cannon's take on monogamy
He also told Berman that some of his children's mothers are monogamous with him while the others just want to co-parent. However, he did not mention who among the women were or weren't monogamous. The former host of 'America's Got Talent' has previously claimed that he is non-monogamous. He added that he prefers the mothers of his children to wait until their children are a little older before they engage in monogamous relationships with other people.
"I would hope it would happen a little bit later, once you've come into your own of what our parenting infrastructure looks like," Cannon said on the podcast. He added he would be a little "concerned" if his children's mothers were out sowing their "wild oats" and being "out in these streets."
However, he admitted during the podcast that he does not enjoy being referred to as "community dick" and getting mocked for having so many children. Cannon shares children with Mariah Carey, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, Brittany Bell, Bre Tiesi, and Lanisha Cole. He claimed in February this year that he would let God decide whether he should stop having children or not.
